The first year of Daxiang Xuande. Purple Palace, Zhu Ci Palace.

In this splendid and solemn palace Zijin Palace, Zhu Ci Hall is a place forgotten by everyone, a nightmare for harem women throughout the ages, and it is inhabited by harem concubines who have fallen out of favor or made big mistakes. Once you enter here, you will never be able to see the Holy Face and bathe in the Holy Grace again. Every day, gazing at the sky at the four corners, flowing clouds, flying birds, still resigned in the mirror, decaying.

With hope, listening to the purring of the wheels of the Xuan car coming and going in Yong'an Lane, but always disappointed, fantasizing about which new beauty in the palace was favored by the emperor, and finally despaired, in this courtyard of the four directions, let the youth slip away from between the fingers, forgotten by the world, and still the wrinkles in the corners of the eyes corrode the old and empty heart.

This is the life of a woman in the cold palace, a loneliness and loneliness like death.

The cold palace was bitter and cold, Nan Chu was dressed in a gray-brown coarse cloth cotton jacket, and there was a finely stitched pudding on his shoulders. She held a small basket of coke in one hand and her waist with the other, and her exposed hands were frozen red and faintly frostbite-invisible, making the originally sculpture-like jade hands unsightly. In the ninth month of pregnancy, her body was already very bulky and fat, but there was a shallow smile on her face, and her whole body exuded the brilliance of motherhood, which made her original solemn aura that had been trained in the sand appear much softer.

The sky seemed to be a leaded gray and heavy. The cracks on the walls are even more dilapidated due to disrepair, the cobwebs unleash unscrupulously in all directions, and the weeds in the corners of the walls are miserable, hanging their heads and ignored, so desolate.

Goose feather snow outside the hallway. The cold wind blows on the face, and it is as cold as a knife.

Suddenly, her hand shook, the small basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the charcoal fire in the small basket also fell to the ground, and bursts of heart palpitations hit, so that she had to cover her chest and take a few steps back, panting heavily.

When the shadow heard the sound, she called in a low voice, and ran forward in three steps and two steps, helped Nan Chuyi to the house, and said with a little reproach: "Niangniang is a person with a body, and this kind of work will be handed over to the slave maid in the future!" ”

Danying and Nan Chuyi grew up together since childhood, although they are called master and servant, they are like sisters.

Nan Chuyi took a sip of the hot tea that the light shadow poured for her, stroked her chest, covered her right hand with her sudden eyelids, and said with some worry: "I suddenly felt uneasy, as if something bad had happened!" ”

The light shadow smiled softly, and while gently pressing her temples for Nan Chuyi, she persuaded: "The slave maid often tells the young lady not to worry too much, and worry about sadness. After all, it's not for your own sake, it's better to think about the child in your womb! If there is anything bad happening, call the slave and maid to say, as long as you take care of your body with peace of mind, when the little prince is born, we can leave the cold palace! She looked at Nan Chuyi firmly, "You forgot, this is Your Majesty's promise to us!" ”

Nan Chuyi smiled dismally, how could things be so easy. plotted to kill the prince, even if he wanted to protect her, the queen mother would not give up. I didn't want to ignore the hot pillow of the shadow at the moment, so she didn't say anything. I saw the light shadow caressing her stomach and said with a smile: "Little prince, you have to be obedient!" Listen to the young lady......"

"Yi Zhi has arrived!" A shrill shout interrupted Shadow's speech.

Nan Chu's eyebrows frowned slightly, the queen mother's decree? What is she doing at this time? The sense of foreboding in my heart grew stronger.

Danying smiled, "Miss, did you pick us up from the cold palace!" ”

Nan Chuyi was helped up by a faint shadow to receive the order.

Get down on your knees and keep your eyes down. But the voice of the proclamation was not heard for a long time.

Nan Chuyi raised his head suspiciously, it was Li Ruhai, the henchman of the Queen Mother, who came to announce the decree, who had been by the Queen Mother's side for decades, and was used to seeing the power struggle in the harem, and the bloody killing of the palace concubine, although he was a lowly person, but he always had a quiet and peaceful smile on his face, and this kind of deliberately pretended peace made people feel creepy.

His eyes were cloudy, but they were shining, and he looked condescendingly at the former mother of a country, and a sinister smile bloomed on his wrinkled old face, "Nan, the Queen Mother commanded, there is a gift for you before the decree is announced!" After saying that, he clapped his hands slowly, and a little eunuch came over with a reddish-brown mahogany box.

Nan Chuyi took the box, opened it suspiciously, and when he saw the contents of the box, his pupils shrank, and his eyes were full of disbelief. The blood on her face quickly faded, pale as paper, and she bit her lip, blood slid down her chin, and her pale complexion became more striking.

She took half a step back unsteadily, forced her tumbling anger, left a strong bloody breath on the tip of her tongue, and asked in a trembling voice, "This, what does this mean?" ”

Gonggong Li glanced at Nan Chuyi coldly, and then opened the edict to read, "The Nan clan plotted to rebel and has been executed by Ling Chi. Nan's Gui is the queen but vicious, murdering the prince, the crime is unforgivable, remembering that he has saved the driver, leaving his whole corpse, and giving the crane red! ”

When Danying heard Yi Zhi, his head banged, he was taken aback, and he got up and screamed loudly: "Impossible, our young lady is pregnant with a dragon son, and it is impossible for the emperor to execute the young lady!" What's more, what's more, Concubine Yi's child was ......"

"Shut up!" Nan Chuyi scolded, when she chose to end that fresh and innocent little life, she should have expected such an ending. Since it is to help him, since it is his own choice, he should bear it by himself. I just didn't expect that it would affect the lives of a people.

Danying bit her lip, swallowed her full of resentment, got up and prepared to support Nan Chuyi's crumbling body, and when she saw what Nan Chuyi was holding in her hand, she screamed, "Master! ”

Nan Chuyi was holding a bloody human head in her hand, and this human head was her father!

Nan Chuyi gritted his teeth, his nails hung on the top of the box, gurgling, and glanced sharply at Gonggong Li, and his anger was full, "I want to see the emperor!" ”

Gonggong Li smiled mockingly, "The emperor doesn't have the time to see you now!" Do you know what day it is? Shangguan nobleman canonized as the imperial concubine, the emperor is accompanying the concubine Niangniang to pray for blessings at this moment, where you will think of you! ”

Nan Chuyi only felt the blood in his chest surging at this moment, "Poof! A mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the snow-white snow on the ground.

Once that person's eyebrows were picturesque, and he smiled lightly and whispered, "Chu Yi, I will definitely treat you well, and I will definitely not disappoint you!" ”

Once the man's eyes were gentle and affectionate, "You are my wife, so don't persuade me to accept a concubine, I am enough to have you alone!" ”

Once that person was peerless, proud of the common people, "Chu Yi, look! This is my world, our country! ”

She believed, she believed it all! An edict relegated her from the most honorable position of a woman in the world to a cold palace of self-destruction, and she was saddled with the notoriety of a poisonous woman, and suffered from the scolding and contempt of the world. She didn't hate, she didn't complain, she waited for him to fulfill his promise and take her out of the cold palace. At least be kind to their children. I'm looking forward to it every day.

But this uncomplaining and unrepentant effort is in exchange for the destruction of the family! Will even the only flesh and blood end up like Concubine Yi's son?

Zhao Che, it's so hard for me to deceive!

Gonggong Li didn't have the slightest pity in his eyes, and said coldly: "Then Nan's family, you should also go on the road!" Maybe you can catch up with your parents and family on Huangquan Road, and you won't be lonely! ”

The light shadow stepped forward in one step, protected Nan Chuyi behind him, and shouted: "Who dares to touch my young lady!" ”

Father-in-law Li glanced at the faint shadow, only indifference and mockery, and sneered: "Since you don't want to go on the road by yourself, then only my father-in-law and I are waiting for you to go on the road!" He clapped his hands and shouted left and right: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and wait for the Nan clan to go on the road!" ”

The two eunuchs received the order, and they stepped forward with their sleeves in their hands and bottles containing crane top red.

"Who dare!" Nan Chuyi's eyes swept away, unspeakably fierce and murderous.

This kind of momentum actually made the two eunuchs take a step back slightly.

Such an aura is worthy of being the first female general of Daxiang, the only one of the five major families who is listed in the top 20 women of the master list of the Five Continents Continent as well as the Queen Mother, and I don't know how heroic it is to gallop on the battlefield with fresh clothes and angry horses! Gonggong Li, who knows countless people, also smacked his tongue for the strong aura on the woman in front of him.

He shouted: "What are you doing, are you still afraid of a woman with broken hands and feet? ”

As early as when Nan Chuyi was beaten into the cold palace, the emperor personally broke her tendons and tendons, which had abolished her martial arts, also abolished her spiritual power, and even broke the heavenly spiritual root of this rare genius who practiced spiritual arts for a hundred years. Now she is just a waste!

Nan Chuyi looked at the scars on his wrists that were as hideous as centipedes, sneered again and again, and was as desperate as a flood. He hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Even if you don't have martial arts, I will protect you for the rest of your life!" The words are still in my ears, but where are you?

At this moment, the shadow snorted, and raised his palm towards the two eunuchs. However, in an instant, several black shadows fell from the roof like ghosts, and their sharp and indifferent eyes watched every move on the field.

Nan Chuyi looked coldly at the people in black, and sneered: "The Queen Mother has even dispatched the people from the Dark Palace, it seems that it must be except for Nan Chuyi!" She looked at Gonggong Li fearlessly, slightly stabilized her mind, grasped the last trace of hope in her heart and prayed: "It's not a pity for Nan Chuyi to die, it's just that the child in the womb is innocent, and the tiger poison does not eat children, can you wait for Nan Chuyi to give birth to a child, and Nan Chuyi will be willing to die at that time!" ”

Gonggong Li said coldly: "You can wait, it's a pity, the Queen Mother can't wait!" The reason why His Majesty married you as a concubine at the beginning was only because of the 100,000 troops of your Nan family in the southern Xinjiang domain, which helped Your Majesty to seize the throne. Do it! The series of bad news is that Nan Chuyi's heart has been shattered, and his heart is like a knife.

Several black shadows were dispatched in unison, as fast as ghosts. Before long, the shadow had already been captured, and she was pressed to the ground unable to move. Gonggong Li paid attention to her coldly, his cloudy eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Nan Chuyi, "Offended!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the two black-clothed men jumped forward, grabbed Nan Chuyi's hands, and pressed her to kneel on the ground. Gonggong Li held the poisonous wine in his hand and slowly approached. With an indifferent gaze, he clamped Nan Chuyi's chin and forcibly poured the poisonous wine into her mouth.

"Miss, Miss!" There was a faint shadow cry in her ears, the liquor slid through, her throat seemed to be cut by a knife, Nan Chuyi only felt that it was difficult to breathe, her stomach seemed to be burning with fire, her consciousness gradually blurred, her eyes caught a glimpse of the bloody head rolling down on the ground, she was sad in her heart, she was grieving, she only wanted to keep her family safe, but she didn't expect it to be such an ending.

Her breathing gradually weakened, and Nan Chuyi swore in her heart that if there was an afterlife, she would be a terrible ghost, and she would ask for everything that the Zhao family owed her bit by bit!

According to historical records, in June of the first year of Xuande, Empress Nan was beaten into the cold palace for murdering the emperor's eldest son. Later, he was implicated in the family rebellion and committed suicide in the cold palace in December.
